A hard-working attorney at a large Manhattan law firm and a diligent maid of honor to her charmed best friend Darcy, Rachel has always played by all the rules. Since grade school, she has watched Darcy shine, quietly accepting the sidekick role in their lopsided friendship. But that suddenly changes the night of her thirtieth birthday when Rachel finally confesses her feelings to Darcy&#39;s fiance, and is both horrified and thrilled to discover that he feels the same way. As the wedding date draws near, events spiral out of control, and Rachel knows she must make a choice between her heart and conscience.

Thatcher gives Adrienne a crash course in the business...and they share an instant attraction. But there is a mystery about their situation: what is it about Fiona, the Blue Bistro&#39;s chef, that captures Thatcher&#39;s attention again and again? And why does such a successful restaurant seem to be in its final season before closing its doors for good? (<a href="http://worldcat.org/" target="_blank">worldcat.org</a>)</p>

Civilization doesn&#39;t end with a bang or a whimper. It ends with a call on your cell phone. What happens on the afternoon of October 1 came to be known as the Pulse, a signal sent though every operating cell phone that turns its user into something...well, something less than human. Savage, murderous, unthinking-and on a wanton rampage. Terrorist act? Cyber prank gone haywire? It really doesn&#39;t matter, not to the people who avoided the technological attack. What matters to them is surviving the aftermath. Before long a band of them-&quot;normies&quot; is how they think of themselves-have gathered on the grounds of Gaiten Academy, where the headmaster and one remaining student have something awesome and terrifying to show them on the school&#39;s moonlit soccer field. Clearly there can be no escape. The only option is to take them on. (<a href="http://worldcat.org/" target="_blank">worldcat.org</a>)<br />

&quot;Anna Karenina&quot; tells of the doomed love affair between the sensuous and rebellious Anna and the dashing officer, Count Vronsky. Tragedy unfolds as Anna rejects her passionless marriage and must endure the hypocrisies of society. Set against a vast and richly textured canvas of nineteenth-century Russia, the novel&#39;s seven major characters create a dynamic imbalance, playing out the contrasts of city and country life and all the variations on love and family happiness.
